Recently I went to Motoguild to learn how to replace my front brake pads. Installation went without any problems, the new pads are EBC HH. They brake fine and I'm in the process of breaking them in by not making any abrupt stops for the first 100 miles. It was last weekend. So far so good. However, I've noticed a slight change in my bike in the last couple of days. Basically, when I brake, I squeeze the brakes progressively to load the front wheel. When the bike stops and front end lifts back up I hear/feel a pretty noticeable click from some area down by the wheel. I tried to replicate it on a turned off bike, but no such luck. However, when I ride, I can get it pretty consistently. I'm trying to understand what it might be.
Even though brake change was a recent change done to the front wheel, I don't think it's the brake because the caliper is attached to the fork below the suspension, so suspension rocking up and down shouldn't really affect it, no? The bolts are torqued to spec, and caliper seems to sit pretty solidly in place. The other two possibilities I can think of is my front tire skipping a bit, because it's pretty worn out and maybe something with the suspension - I rode in a pretty heavy rain, maybe some water got into the forks and is causing mischief?
I know it's a pretty tall order, but do you guys have any ideas on what this might be?
Thanks,
Luka
